Context
Today, the substitution of oil-based materials in the production of packaging and the manufacture of structural and functional objects represents a major environmental and industrial challenge. In this current socio-economic context, the research and implementation of bio-based, high-performance, cost-effective materials compatible with emerging manufacturing processes such as 3D printing, have become an unavoidable requirement. |
Technology
The invention consists in the formulation of a fully bio-based composite precursor, compatible with additive manufacturing and injection molding. |
Advantages
100% bio-based and cost-effective material with thermomechanical properties comparable or even superior to oil-based composites.
The formulation of this biocomposite is simple with the use of commercial components available on an industrial scale.
State of progress
Functional parts were printed using a dedicated developed printer. Injection molding tests are in progress in order to adapt this new material to a bigger production scale. |
Applications
The project aims to replace technical polymers in the areas of: - 3D printing for the manufacture of prototypes/small series of technical parts resistant to heat/chemical agents. - The plastics processing of technical polymers for the mass production of technical parts. |
